Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master.

Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

A few from the lake

My Wife & I took the kids to a nearby Lake last weekend to see the birdlife, and of course what is an outing without the camera.

Below are a few from the afternoon.

As always, honest C&C appreciated.

#3 and 4 are great.

#1 the front of the ducks is a bit too hot for my liking.

I also think the frames do not do your shots justice. IMHO they detract.

Thanks for your comments guys.

I thought the 1st image was a bit hot overall, but on my monitor at home it looked good, however when I looked on my work PC, it was much brighter. Looks like I'm in need of a new monitor at home (or a serious calibration).

The frames were something I was just playing around with, which I personally don't mind....but it is interesting to hear other's views.

Cheers :)
